Preface
This preface, as well as all footnotes and annexes, is included for information purposes and is not part of
ISA-TR84.00.03-2002.
This document has been prepared as part of the service of ISAthe Instrumentation, Systems, and
Automation Societytoward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation. To be of real value, this
document should not be static but should be subject to periodic review. Toward this end, the Society
welcomes all comments and criticisms and asks that they be addressed to the Secretary, Standards and
Practices Board; ISA; 67 Alexander Drive; P. O. Box 12277; Research Triangle Park, NC 27709;
Telephone (919) 549-8411; Fax (919) 549-8288; E-mail: standards@isa.org.
The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the metric
system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the preparation of
instrumentation standards. The Department is further aware of the benefits to USA users of ISA
standards of incorporating suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and
professional dealings with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce
SI-acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practices, and technical
reports to the greatest extent possible. Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The
Modern Metric System, published by the American Society for Testing & Materials as IEEE/ASTM SI 1097, and future revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols, abbreviations, and
conversion factors.
It is the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned individuals and
interests in the development of ISA standards, recommended practices, and technical reports.
Participation in the ISA standards-making process by an individual in no way constitutes endorsement by
the employer of that individual, of ISA, or of any of the standards, recommended practices, and technical
reports that ISA develops.

Introduction

||||
|||| ||
||||
|
||
|---

The best test of the Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) is the full functional test. Because SIF are
designed to act upon an abnormal condition being measured and a corrective action taking place, any
test must examine the measurement, logic and final control element activity to be considered a full
functional test. This should involve creating an abnormal condition of the measured variable such that the
input variable first reaches the alarm state and secondly moves to the interlock point making observations
that the rest of the system responds as expected. Any less complete test is necessarily a compromise.
Understanding what techniques should be used to ensure that this full functional test is complete is vital.
The sense of well being resulting from this successful test unfortunately deteriorates with time. Therefore,
determining when subsequent testing is required to maintain this feeling of comfort is critical. The relative
value of the functional test versus the cost of running the test can impact this decision. It is necessary to
consider the degree of safety risk caused by a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) initiated nuisance
shutdown and at the same time the safety risk associated with an event not stopped due to a dangerous
unrevealed fault in the SIF. Real processes are not ideal. Many systems are at maximum expected risk
during startup and shutdown conditions.
NOTE 1

In this document the acronyms SIF and SIS will be used for both singular and plural usage of the term.

NOTE 2 The techniques for testing SIF or SIS described in this document apply to demand mode systems only. Continuous mode
systems, which are rare in the process industry, require testing considerations beyond the scope of this document.

SIF applications are normally in a standby mode waiting for an indication of some potentially unsafe
condition to occur before taking action. Faults may not become visible until the SIF fails to respond to an
unsafe condition in the process. In basic process control loops the sensors and valves are exercised
continuously during the Distributed Control System (DCS) and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
cycles making process or equipment faults visible quickly and rendering them hard to ignore. It is vital
that some program of testing and observation of each SIF in the SIS be in place. Any testing scheme,
though which is burdensome or difficult has the very real probability of being ignored or bypassed. Where
on-line testing techniques are implemented, they should not unnecessarily compromise the process
safety integrity during the test. The test equipment and procedure must be carefully evaluated to
determine whether the danger of causing an incident due to performing the on-line test is greater than the
danger of not discovering the failure. Ill-advised maintenance or troubleshooting might actually increase
the process risk.
Effective safety testing is strongly affected by local situations. Hazards differ, resources differ, and even
the site conditions differ widely. Rapidly changing technology and ever increasing citizen expectations
also impact decisions. Safety incidents can have the political result of closing down entire businesses if
the local citizens are sufficiently offended. International competition has put tremendous pressure on
manufacturing operations to reduce personnel and costs. Whatever testing schemes are used, they need
to be very practical and should minimize maintenance and operating costs while ensuring the integrity of
the SIF. The techniques suggested in this document are intended to provide guidance in the
development of effective and efficient methods to plan and to manage testing and maintenance of SIF.
Users of this document should have a good understanding of the applicable standards or guidelines
which apply to SIF and SIS such as ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996, ISA-TR84.00.02-2002, OSHA 1910.119,
dIEC 61511, and others.
The records resulting from the testing program should be equally valuable to planned and preventive
maintenance and address the requirements of all regulations, as well as quality control and mandated
standards.
Another important part of process safety in an operating unit is the knowledge and motivation of the
operators and maintenance personnel. It is the responsibility of management to provide training and
motivation. Any plan, formula, procedure, or even a standard, which attempts to, or claims to substitute

procedures and rules for training, motivation, and support is doomed to failure. Therefore, the testing
techniques proposed should not be considered just another set of rules, which become burdens to
overworked plant personnel, but rather means of improving the work process and reducing frustration.

Purpose

Systematic testing of each Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) is required to ensure that dangerous
unrevealed failures have not occurred that could render the SIF unable to perform the function for which it
was provided. This testing ensures that all operational functions of the SIF are evaluated on a periodic
schedule in accordance with the safety integrity requirement of the SIF. Many processes have operating
cycles that are longer than the period between testing required achieving the safety integrity. Thus
performing the required off-line testing necessitates shutting down the process. This is costly and puts
unnecessary strain on equipment and necessitates going through shutdown and startup (which are
usually the most dangerous periods of a process lifecycle) again. Therefore, the ability to perform testing
while the process remains in operation is desirable.

--

There are also different ideas on what constitutes an acceptable test for various components of SIF.
Whether the test is performed off-line, with the process down, or on-line with the process in operation,
there are methods for performing the testing that ensure a high degree of detection of failures that might
have occurred. Guidance is needed in the selection of these testing methods for both off-line and on-line
situations.

|
||| || | ||| || |
||||
|||| ||

There is also benefit in performing inspection activities on SIS equipment during normal operation of the
process to detect any potential problem creating situations that might be developing. Guidance in what to
look for, how often to inspect, and what to do when a condition is observed that could lead to a failure will
enhance the safety integrity of the SIF.

||||

Scope

|
||
|---

Testing considerations of SIF should be included in most of the Safety Lifecycle steps described in
ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996. Testing frequency is a part of the determination of Safety Integrity Level (SIL) for
the SIF. Provision for conducting tests must be included in the selection of equipment and design of the
SIF and the Pre-Startup Acceptance Test (PSAT) is an integral part of ensuring the SIF will provide the
risk reduction necessary. When modifications are made to SIF, testing can validate that appropriate SIF
action will still take place.
This technical report is an informative document providing guidance on performing testing of SIF
components and systems that will help achieve full safety benefits of the SIF in the most cost-effective
way. Both manual and automated techniques are presented for off-line and on-line testing of SIF and the
benefits of each technique described. Existing techniques and proposed new techniques will be
described. Utilizing the techniques described in conjunction with an overall safety management program
will allow users to meet the testing requirements of ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996 and dIEC 61511. Techniques
are described for testing all elements of the SIF including field sensors, final control elements, logic
solvers (signal conversion modules included), Human Machine Interface (HMI), communication links with
other systems, user application software, and other required auxiliaries such as power. Suggested
inspection techniques for regular observation of equipment and components to detect potential problems
are also presented.
The techniques described can also be used for testing burner management systems in conjunction with
the NFPA 85 code.
These techniques are illustrated by the examples given in Annexes A-MM. Each Annex is an example
of how one company might apply a given technique, and is not intended to represent a consensus
solution within the process industry.

Definition of terms and acronyms


Definitions

5.1.1 approved substitution:


a replacement item for a component or system that meets the following requirements:
Is specifically permitted as a substitute or duplicate item in a company standard or practice (i.e., the
company standard or practice clearly states that more than one brand and/or model number may be used
interchangeably in order for a replacement item other than the exact same brand and model number to be
considered for use as an approved substitute)
OR
Is approved as an equivalent substitute by the appropriate plant or company personnel, or his/her
designee for approving substitutions; meets process-specific operational safety standards; and is covered
by existing training and procedures.
See Annex A for an example of a typical approval procedure for making substitute replacements for SIF
components.
5.1.2 automatic testing:
a test which consists of simulated process conditions to a logic solver which cause the logic solver to take
specified action and signal a final control element to move to a specified position. The simulated process
signal is implemented using another programmable device which controls the sequence and range of
testing. Humans may observe the action of the system logic and final control element movement but do
not intervene in the testing sequence. All steps of this test are documented by the testing device for
validation of system performance to specified conditions.
5.1.3 car seal:
a technique consisting of a restraint placed on a valve actuator in such a manner that it cannot be moved
from the sealed position without breaking the restraint seal. Operations personnel typically maintain a
list of those valves car sealed in a fixed position for a process.

5.1.5 electrical/electronic/programmable (E/E/PE):


logic technology that is based on electrical (E) and/or electronic (E) and/or programmable electronic (PE)
technology. The term is intended to cover any and all devices or systems operating on electrical
principles and would include

|---

5.1.4 communications (external):


data exchange between the SIS and a variety of systems or devices that are outside the SIS. These
include operator interfaces, maintenance/engineering interfaces, other SIS, etc.

ISA-TR84.00.03-2002

electronic devices based on computer technology (programmable electronic).

5.1.6 field sensors:


field sensors include the process connections, the sensing device, the transmitter, and the signal
connection to the logic solver.
5.1.7 final control elements:
final control elements include the signal connection from the logic solver, the actuation medium supply
(typically air), solenoid valves, and the device which effects a process flow change (e.g., valves or
pumps).
5.1.8 human machine interface (HMI):
the human machine interface includes the connection between the logic solver and the operator station,
the graphical display device, the tools available for operating the system (hand-switches, mouse and
keyboard) as well as a printer if supplied.
5.1.9 logic solvers:
in the case of PE devices, the logic solver includes the input module, main processor, and the output
module. In the case of electrical or electronic devices, the logic solver may be a single relay or
redundant, voting relays.
5.1.10 manual test:
a test which consists of simulating process conditions using the input device (i.e., transmitter) to a logic
solver causing the logic solver to take specified action and signal a final control element to move to a
specified position. Humans typically generate the simulated process signal using appropriate test
equipment. Humans also observe the action of the system logic and final control element movement. All
steps of this test are documented for validation of system performance to specified conditions.

||| || | ||| || |

5.1.11 off-line testing:


testing performed while the process or equipment being protected is not being operated to carry out its
designated function. For example, a compressor is designed to take gas from a low-pressure state to a
higher pressure state. If the compressor is not running (compressing gas), it is not performing its
designated function. Off-line testing would be performed during the time the compressor is not running.

||||
|||| ||
||||
|
||
|---

5.1.12 on-line testing:


testing performed while the process or equipment being protected is operating performing its designated
function. For example, a compressor is designed to take gas from a low-pressure state to a higher
pressure state. If the compressor is operating (compressing gas) while tests are performed on a
transmitter providing an input to the SIF, this is an on-line test of the transmitter. When simplex input
devices are used, performing such testing typically requires bypassing of the input function to the SIF.
When redundant devices are used, bypassing may not be required, depending on the voting
configuration.
5.1.13 permissive:
logic action that requires some condition be met before further actions can be taken. For example, a
specific temperature might have to be achieved in the process before some additional chemical can be
added; a lubrication system must be in operation before a pump can be started; or certain valves must be
closed before others can be opened.
5.1.14 proof test:
test performed to reveal undetected faults in a safety instrumented function so that, if necessary, the
system can be restored to its designed functionality.

Off-line testing

The most common test of an SIF that uncovers failures or faults that may disable an SIF is the off-line,
functional test. This test is performed while the process being protected is not in operation thus allowing
all features of the SIF to be validated. The primary purpose of this testing is to detect dangerous
unrevealed faults that exist in the SIF. When the SIF is properly designed and maintained, this testing
should rarely find faults. The basic requirements of this test are described in ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996 in
Clause 9.7 Functional Testing. There are, however, multiple ways that tests can be performed to
accomplish the purpose of this functional test. This clause will describe techniques and procedures that
are known to be effective in carrying out the functional test to uncover faults or failures, which could result
in potentially unsafe conditions in the process.
Each SIF included in the SIS should be identified. All inputs, outputs, and logic associated with each SIF
should be identified. A testing procedure should define how each SIF will be validated. All equipment
necessary for performing testing should be identified and verified suitable for tests to be performed. This
includes calibration equipment with traceable performance.
If any components are shared among multiple SIF, testing should take this into account.
NOTE The procedures identified refer to SIF exclusively. Similar procedures should be available for all systems with limited
monitoring such as equipment protection systems. These procedures are outside the scope of this document.

There are two important questions that should be addressed related to off-line testing (1) when should
off-line testing be performed and (2) how should the off-line testing be performed. These questions are
addressed in the clauses to follow.
6.1

When should off-line testing be performed

6.1.1

General considerations

Off-line testing of the complete SIS should be performed prior to introduction of hazardous chemicals to
the process. This is described as the Pre-Startup Acceptance Test (PSAT) in ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996
Clause 8.4. This test should be a final validation that the system can in fact perform the function(s) for
which it was designed. Off-line testing allows each SIF to be completely tested including the application
software and any equipment and associated logic provided for on-line testing.

ISA-TR84.00.03-2002

NOTE After the initial PSAT has been performed, any subsequent tests that validate all SIF in the SIS before placing the system
back in service may be referred to as a full functional test.

Follow-up testing of the SIF should be performed at intervals determined by one or more of the following
criteria:

The test interval included in the performance calculations for the SIF. See ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996
Clause 4.2.6.

When changes are made to logic, impacting the function of the SIF. See ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996
Clause 4.2.14.

When the process or equipment is taken out of service for scheduled maintenance activities that
require work involving components of the SIF. See ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996 Clause 4.2.13.

Company policy requiring complete testing of the SIF on a predefined schedule. See ANSI/ISA84.01-1996 Clause 4.2.13.

After extended down time of the SIS (see deferral of testing section Clause 6.2)

No modification, which could alter any of the following, should be made without first carrying out a review
to ensure the change cannot reduce the level of protection and appropriate testing is done to validate
correct operation of the modified SIF:

Performance of a Safety Protection Layer for the original design intent

Materials of construction

Mode of operation

Operating procedures

Alarm and trip settings

Speed of response

Testing intervals or methods

Device type, other than replacement in kind

Architecture or voting logic

Diagnostics

Dependent on the nature of the repair work, which has been completed, functional testing after repair to a
SIF component may include the following activities. When the test does not involve a complete functional
test of the component, the test does not alter the specified SIF testing frequency.
1) Single input: exercise sensor input and verify alarm and trip setpoints are correct then observe
output(s) action. Confirm the process sensor is still connected to the correct input. Use the
applicable section of the SIF test procedure and complete the required documentation for the
equipment checked.

2) Single output: exercise all inputs that will actuate desired final control element and observe output
action. Confirm final control element is connected to correct output. Use the applicable section of the
SIF test procedure and complete the required documentation for the equipment checked.
3) Logic: perform a complete functional test of all SIF affected by the repair using the functional test
procedure and complete all documentation. Check for cross contamination in the application
software/logic by monitoring for unexpected actions across/between SIFs.
Follow-up testing of individual components in a SIF may be considered at intervals shorter than the
complete functional test of the SIF to improve the performance capability of the SIF. Factors, which can
impact the frequency of these tests, include

sensors and final control elements installed in severe environment;

accuracy of measurements required for safety;

need for positive isolation of streams by valve action;

mechanical wear and tear on components; and

desire for longer test interval between complete functional tests.

6.1.2

Sensors (transmitters, switches)

Whether switches or transmitters are used for input signals impacts testing requirements. Transmitters
provide signals which indicate the current status of the variable being measured. This gives an indication
that the input device is functioning. A switch on the other hand gives no indication of its status until the
process variable passes through the trip point of the switch. Therefore, it may be necessary to test
switches more often than transmitters used as input devices to SIF.

The incorporation of internal or external diagnostics in the SIF design often results in the reduction of the
required test interval due to the ability to detect faults on-line. Diagnostics may not be able to detect all
faults of the component. For example, a plugged tap may not be detected by internal diagnostics within
the transmitter, but may be detected using external diagnostics (i.e. comparison of redundant transmitter
analog signals using a PE logic solver). Consequently, any diagnostic should be carefully evaluated to
determine which faults could be detected by the diagnostic prior to using the diagnostic as justification for
reduction of the testing interval.

--

It may also be appropriate to establish a maximum period of time between full functional tests of SIF that
does not exceed 3-5 years. Few processes can operate for longer periods of time without some
maintenance activity requiring process shutdown, and test schedules should not range beyond these
shutdown schedules. There may also be some questions concerning the applicability of the failure rate
data used in the SIL verification calculations and subsequent test interval determination that would point
toward setting maximum test intervals for the SIF.

|---

In selecting a test interval for an SIF to match the SIL determined during the hazard and risk analysis of
the process, the severity of the process characteristics should be considered. For example, a shorter test
interval might be used initially for process fluids that are known to be more severe (corrosive, erosive,
tending to plug, etc.). The minimum test interval should be determined by the user based on the SIL
assigned to the SIF. Typically, annual testing is a reasonable starting point for the determination, which
should include the examination of the component failure rate in the operating profile, the voting
architecture, and the component diagnostics. The test interval chosen should be re-evaluated
periodically and adjusted accordingly, based on the results of several functional tests. Based on user
experience, shortening the test interval will not correct a faulty design or equipment problem. Instead,
shortening the test interval will at most only allow earlier detection of an equipment problem.

19

ISA-TR84.00.03-2002

Transmitters can also provide diagnostics such as out-of-range high/low and out-of control range
indications which switches cannot do. Such diagnostics may reduce the frequency of testing required for
transmitters.
The calibration stability of an input device may require testing frequencies that are shorter than that for
the complete SIF. Devices that are known to drift due to environmental changes in temperature, for
instance, may require more frequent testing and calibration to ensure proper process variable input to the
SIF. Devices that maintain their calibration stability through wide changes in temperature may not require
frequent testing as long as a signal consistent with other process conditions is being transmitted from the
device.
Redundancy of components may impact their testing frequency. Where redundant sensors have their
outputs monitored and they are compared with each other, agreement usually means viable
measurements which do not need frequent testing or calibration. When the outputs drift apart, testing or
calibration is indicated for all the redundant components.
Diversity in the detection of the hazardous condition can provide a means to improve the SIF availability
without adding redundant components. For instance, a pressure measurement may be used in
redundancy with a temperature measurement for some process conditions. A comparison of the
temperature and pressure to expected thermodynamic data can provide diagnostics on the validity of the
process measurements, reducing the required testing interval.
User experience with specific sensors and service should be used in determining the test frequency of the
device to ensure proper performance of a sensor.
Some companies require yearly performance checks of sensor calibration and verification of set points.
Other companies have established testing frequencies based on past history with the equipment they
use. Established company policy for testing frequency should take precedence if more frequent
than the guidelines of this document.
6.1.3

Logic solvers (E/E/PE)

-|
||| || | ||| || |
||||
|||| ||

When changes are made to the logic solver, the potential effects of these changes must be evaluated to
determine how much of the E/E/PE must be tested. If the program changes can be isolated to a
particular section, and it can be shown conclusively that the change does not impact other logic
implemented in the logic solver, only that section needs to be fully tested (complete functional test). This
applies to logic whether it is electromechanical relay based, solid-state relay based, pneumatic, or
Programmable Electronic System (PES) based. Where Watch Dog Timers (WDT) are implemented as
external diagnostics on PE logic solvers, they should be tested at the same frequency as the logic solver.
For guidance in testing WDT see the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Center for Chemical
Process Safety, guideline series book, Guidelines for Safe Automation of Chemical/Petrochemical
Processes.

||||
|
||
|---

Some companies require that functional performance of logic solvers be verified on a schedule that
ranges from one year to several years depending on the risk associated with the process, the complexity
of the logic, and company experience with the logic solver being used.
6.1.4

Final control elements (valves, motors)

Valves used for final control elements should be tested when full system functional tests are performed.
They should be tested at the frequency used in the performance calculations for the SIF. Final control
element (valves) should be tested each time the process is taken out of service. This can typically be
performed by verifying appropriate operation of all valves when the process is taken out of service (either
manually or due to a failure of some nature that caused the process to trip). For batch operations,
verification of proper operation during each batch should provide this function.

20

Other devices used as final control elements such as motors should be tested at the frequency used in
the performance calculations for the SIF.
Frequency of testing valves as final control elements depends on a number of factors:

Type of valve used as the final control element

Service in which the valve is applied

Whether the valve is used during normal operation or as a standby valve for use only when the SIF
takes action

Whether the valve must provide minimal leakage isolation or some leakage can be tolerated

Whether the valve actuator has a spring to drive it to the safe state or it depends on motive power to
drive it in both directions

When testing final control elements, auxiliaries such as valve positioners, position or limit
indicators/sensors, air pressure regulators, etc. should be tested at the same frequency as the valve.
6.1.5

HMI

The Human Machine Interface (HMI) should be tested at the same frequency as the full SIF. When
changes are made to information displayed in the HMI, the changes should be tested to confirm
appropriate status is displayed. If the HMI is used to initiate the SIF logic, all devices associated with the
initiation should be tested, including the HMI, output circuit, and final element.
6.1.6

Communications

Communications between the SIF and other control equipment such as the Basic Process Control
System (BPCS) should be tested at the same frequency as the SIF. When completing full functional tests
of the SIF, the testing should include all communication to auxiliary equipment such as the DCS. When
changes are made to the communications links between the SIF and any other equipment, testing should
confirm that appropriate information is being communicated.
6.2

Deferral of scheduled testing of SIF

Documented justification for deferral of scheduled inspection and/or testing activities should make use of
failure rate data and/or quantitative methods to establish that the design intent and the performance
requirements are not compromised. Company or plant-specific failure rate data for the process of
concern should be used when available, because this provides the best estimation of component
performance. When company or plant specific data is not available, published failure rate data can be
used as long as it has been determined that the data agrees with past operational experience and
includes the failure modes of interest. The method(s) used for validating the failure rate data should be
appropriate to the complexity of the system and the severity of the event consequence.
Scheduled testing of SIF may be deferred if it meets the following criteria:

The equipment that the SIF is protecting is out of service. An analysis of the impact of such a deferral
on the SIF provided should be made prior to the decision to defer. The SIF should be tested prior to
the equipment being returned to service in this case.

A plant turnaround is scheduled shortly after the scheduled full functional test of the SIF. This turnaround
will allow a complete functional test of the SIF. The time period of this delay should not result in a
compromise of the SIF or its safety integrity level. When the SIF is designed with the intent to be full

assessment has determined that the longer delay would not compromise the SIF.
See Annex B for an example of a deferral procedure for SIF testing. The approval process, including
levels of management and technical responsibility required for deferring a scheduled test, should be predetermined, understood, and documented before an SIF is put into service

6.3.1

How to perform off-line testing of SIF


General guidelines

This clause will outline techniques for performing tests that have been proven and some proposed
techniques, including automated techniques that can achieve adequate off-line testing of SIF. The
advantages and disadvantages of each technique will be discussed where appropriate.
A key question concerns whether testing of the SIF must be done as an integrated system or whether
various parts of the SIF can be tested at different times and credit be taken for the testing required to
achieve the SIL specified. The requirement for testing stated in ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996 does not say that
all testing of the SIF must take place at the same time. However an integrated test must be performed as
the Pre-startup Acceptance Test (PSAT) (ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996, clause 8.4), prior to introduction of
hazardous chemicals to the process, to ensure that the SIF can provide the functionality specified in the
safety requirement specification. After that, the user is free to structure testing consistent with the
integrity requirements of their SIF.
-|
||| || | ||| || |
||||
|||| ||

It is highly recommended that a complete functional test of the SIS including all implemented SIF be
performed on some prescribed interval to ensure proper functioning of the entire system. Where the
dynamics of the entire end-to-end SIF is cruciali.e., the thermowell, the T/C, the transmitter, the input
cycle time, the logic cycle time, the output signal cycle time, as well as all necessary components of the
final control elements, such as volume boosters, pneumatic tubing size and lengththe complete SIF
should be tested together to ensure specification compliance.

||||
|
||
|---

Why would a user desire to perform non-integrated testing of the SIF? Testing is looking for dangerous
unrevealed or covert failures that have taken place and would prevent a SIF from performing its function.
Whether these are uncovered piecemeal or in a total integrated functional test is immaterial. The
important factor is that they are discovered and corrected before a demand is placed on the SIF and it
cannot perform the specified function.
The properly applied logic solver is generally the most available component of the SIF and thus should
require complete tests less frequently than the field devices. Sensors can easily be tested on-line when
provisions for testing and/or device redundancy is included in the design. Valve testing may require
bypassing in order to perform a full functional test, when a short interruption of the process cannot be
tolerated. But, the valve may be partially tested while in operation with a complete functional test
performed off-line. Any partial testing should be evaluated to determine which failure modes and
components are tested during the partial test, so that this can be considered in the SIL verification
calculations. It should be emphasized that provision for this non-integrated testing of SIF components
must be factored into the SIF design as required in ANSI/ISA-84.01-1996, Clause 7.9 and into the SIL
verification for the SIF.
Many recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices such as NFPA and FM suggest online testing of valves using the process chemicals at normal operating pressure to do performance
testing. This often provides better validation of the functional performance of the valve and can be a costeffective alternative to removing the valve and taking it to a calibration facility. This type of testing could
be performed as a part of a scheduled shutdown of the process with the appropriate documentation of
results.

ISA-TR84.00.03-2002

6.3.2

SIF component calibration and performance validation

All components of the SIF should be calibrated prior to placing the SIF in service. Calibration test
equipment traceable to a recognized standards performance organization should be used to perform a
minimum three-point calibration (5%, 50%, 95% to prevent scaling errors) over the full signal range of the
loops sensor/transmitter to the final readout device. Valves should be calibrated to proper stroke length
for full open and full closed positions. Any valve that is not required to close or open to full stroke position
should be calibrated to the appropriate position prior to placing the SIF in service.
6.3.3

Calibration procedures

Calibration procedures should be available for each type of component in the SIF. In general, calibration
procedures recommended by the manufacturer of the component should be used. Where additional
requirements (e.g., response time of sensors or valves) are necessary to meet the specified function in
the SIF, these should be taken into account in the calibration procedures.
Procedures for calibration of SIF components should include a final step in which Operations verifies the
reasonableness of the newly calibrated, field sensor(s) actual process readings. This step is very
important to minimize the likelihood of a Common Cause Failure (CCF), during calibration of redundant
process sensors.
NOTE Common cause calibration failure can arise where redundant sensors are calibrated at the same time by the same person
using the same test equipment or standard. Where an instrument technician mis-calibrates one sensor, he/she is very likely to miscalibrate the other(s). Special concerns for these failures arise in calibration of redundant process analyzers using a single mixed
sample and SIL 3 safety controls in batch processes.

Calibration procedures and/or vendor technical data that include step-by-step


calibration instructions applicable to each SIF component are available.

Safety instruments not


covered in specific
Maintenance Staff
Training

Skilled staff using manufacturers step-by-step calibration instructions to


calibrate devices that are not part of the staff maintenance qualification
process.

Process Analyzers

Analyzer calibration may require special considerations in addition to using


the manufacturers step-by-step calibration instructions.
Example: Limited availability of check-gas may make executing a standard
three-point calibration difficult. A calibration procedure that proves operation
using one known composition sample that is close to the safety-critical trip
point is often adequate.

Many field devices require periodic calibration and checkout to ensure that the process service has not
affected the devices ability to respond to process changes. The use of redundancy in process
measurements will allow early detection of many device failures, reducing maintenance costs by focusing

efforts on known problems. An example of what might be achieved in a reasonable process service with
instrumentation redundancy is as follows:

Smart pressure transmitters can go 2 to 4 years between calibrations.

Coriolis and magnetic flow meters should not be calibrated unless there is evidence of a problem.
(Coriolis and magnetic flow meters should be calibrated using a prover loop at turnaround.)

Smart four-wire RTD transmitters should only be calibrated if there is evidence of a problem.

Smart thermocouple transmitters can go 5 years between calibrations.

Vortex meters should only be calibrated if the kinematic viscosity permanently changes.

Radar level gauges should only be calibrated if vessel internals change.

Smart nuclear level gauges should only be calibrated if process density permanently changes.

Smart digital positioners on valves should only be calibrated when valves are overhauled.

6.4

Component testing

Both general and specific guidelines are presented in the following clauses for performing off-line testing
of SIF components.
6.4.1

General guidelines

Verify permissive values of field sensors and any other devices such as timers used in permissive logic.
Note that permissive logic may have manual or logic implemented bypass capability for startup. Both
techniques, if provided, should be tested prior to placing the SIF in operation. Verify all alarms and or
lights associated with each sensor and switch by observing and documenting correct indication when
alarm conditions are reached. See Annex P for a model procedure for testing permissive logic.
Verify all hand trip switch action by observing and documenting observed action when switch is actuated.
An example of a test procedure for a simple SIF is shown in Annex Q.
Table 2 provides general guidance on testing required for verifying proper operation of components
typically used in SIF.

Component specific guidelines


Sensor testing transmitters

Testing sensors may involve (1) use of process to drive transmitter, (2) simulating the sensor input via
appropriate measurement source, or (3) simulating the sensor output via a mA simulation tool. The
particular technique used should be specified in the test procedure for the SIF. Using the process to drive
the transmitter will provide assurance the transmitter can measure the process conditions but this
technique may not always be available if the process is not in operation. Using simulated measurement
input to the transmitter is probably the most reliable and available technique. This technique tests the
function of the transmitter, the wiring, and the receiving device. Using a current simulation on the output
tests the wiring and the receiving device but does not test the transmitter function.
Measure the sensor output conditions; if the output is linear, measure the output level with respect to the
current process condition such as temperature, pressure, product level etc.

Measure the power supply voltage, AC or DC, for the SIF components and verify that the power is within
the acceptable range (AC 2.5 volts; DC 0.4 volts).

||| || | ||| || |

||||

A test to confirm SIF action on total power supply failure should be carried out and if battery supplied
power is provided, it should also be tested to confirm that desired time of backup is available.

Sensor testing will vary depending on the type of sensor used. The guidelines which follow outline
proven in use techniques for verifying sensor operation in the SIF.
Root valves on all sensors should be verified open at end of test. Secondary valves, manifolds, vents,
etc., on all sensors should also be verified as being in the in the service condition at end of test.
Each individual components off-line condition should be checked and verified based on the expected
value with respect to the process off-line conditions.

Using PLC programmer for the logic device being tested and HMI screen, test the logic programmed
function by function. Thoroughly check and verify the internal scaling factors for calibration and test
range limit flags with manual input and output value variation. Test each individual sensor, the measured
value with separate certified Test Meter and the value measured in PLC. Verify that the PLC value is
scaled to match the Test Meter measured value. Performance should be considered unacceptable if
variation between Test Meter measurement and Logic Solver indicated values exceeds 2% of
measurement range.

6.5.3

ISA-TR84.00.03-2002

PLC logic solvers connected to simulators Hardwired simulators

Some companies have developed hardwired simulators for use in testing PLC logic. These simulators
consist of panels with potentiometers, lights, and switches to represent all input devices and lights to
represent output device positions. The simulators may be connected to the input terminals of the PLC
directly or an arrangement using plug connection cables may be used. With the simulator connected, a
procedure which exercises all possible combinations of logic that the PLC might encounter is conducted
to validate that the logic solver will perform as required for each safety function implemented. In some
instances the simulation panel is arranged graphically to represent the process being protected. When
this is done, the simulator can also be used as an operations training tool for the SIF functionality.
6.5.4

PLC logic solvers connected to simulators Software based simulators

-|
||| || | ||| || |
||||

Some companies have developed software-based simulators to accomplish the testing described in the
clause above. In this instance, the test program is developed in application software using another PLC
or in some instances a personal computer. Connection to the logic solver for testing is similar to above.
However, the use of such a simulation requires complete validation of the embedded, application and
utility software in the simulator prior to testing the SIF Logic Solver. The software simulator might also be
used in training operators in the functionality of the SIF. In some instances this software simulator might
operate in an automated mode in performing the test.

|||| ||

6.5.5

PLC logic solvers not connected to field or simulators

||||
|
||
|---

Testing PES based logic solvers that are not yet connected to field devices or a simulator is limited to
manual testing of application logic using the PES configuration device. This type of testing primarily takes
place during the initial programming and configuration phases of the PES implementation for the SIF
application. Since changes are numerous during these phases, formal documentation of this "testing"
should not be necessary. The final application logic documentation should reflect the results of this
testing.
6.5.6

Electromechanical relay logic solvers

See Annex T for an example of a procedure for testing an electromechanical relay based SIF.
6.6

Testing of final control elements

Manually open or close valves and start or stop motors individually. In some applications, this test might
have to be repeated 2 or 3 times to ensure proper functioning of the valves. Failure to properly open or
close on the first attempt might be considered a failure by some companies and repeating the test 2 or 3
times to see the valves function would not ensure proper operation when the SIF called for a trip. Others
might just want to see the valves operate more than once to obtain a confident feeling of proper
functioning.
Manually change the output value for linearly controlled devices such as control valves. Observe the
response of the device by watching the feedback value on the HMI and directly at the device. Document
response of each valve in field and indication on HMI.
A test of the SIF valve should determine whether the valve can meet the functional requirements provided
in the safety requirements specification. In addition to full stroke testing, the valve test may involve leak
testing in cases where the valve has been specified with a maximum leak rate. Stroke times may be
determined and recorded if valve stroke speed is critical. Stroke time should include the time from output
signal change to valve position change, not just from start to finish of valve stroke. It has been shown

that the pre-stroke dead time as actuators fill or exhaust and achieve breakaway force on the valve is
generally the longest time component of the total stroke time.
Leak testing of SIF valves may require installation of bleed valves with pressure gauges downstream of
the valve so that the valve can be monitored for positive shutoff. The burner management standard
2
NFPA (8502) gives guidance on this for fuel valves to furnaces and boilers that is also applicable to other
process valves requiring positive shutoff.
6.7

Testing solenoid valves

Verify solenoid valve normal and trip condition status. If solenoid is normally energized during process
operation, verify that coil is energized and no air is venting through vent port. If solenoid is normally deenergized during process operation, verify that coil is de-energized and vent port is open to vent. Deenergize or energize coil as required and verify that air is either vented from valve actuator or applied to
valve actuator as required by SIF logic. Verify that solenoid installed position allows gravity assist in
taking valve to de-energized position. For examples of testing solenoid valves see example procedures
for testing of final control elements (Annexes W, Z, DD, and MM).
6.8

Testing of HMI

All indications of SIF variables that are displayed on a human machine interface whether they be the
BPCS operator workstation, a separate operator display station, or lights on a panel should be verified as
each variable is tested. The correct range of process variable, the pre-alarm and trip setpoints, and any
other variable information that is provided should be verified and documented during the testing. Both as
found and as left values should be documented. Where multiple pages (video, CRT, etc.) of SIF
information are provided, all displayed pages should be verified for appropriate labeling and access
control.
If the HMI is used to initiate output functions for the SIF such as may be the case in batch control
applications or a manual shutdown function, this function should also be tested.
6.9

Testing of communications

Where provided all communications with other systems such as the BPCS should be tested to verify
correct transfer of information and data from the SIF to the other system(s). All information transferred
should be verified by comparing the sent information with the received and displayed information on the
system(s) other than the SIF.
Techniques used for blocking communications from the BPCS operator workstation to the SIF logic
solver, especially those used to prevent unintended logic changes to the SIF application software, should
be validated. Attempts at changing logic in the SIF should be made from the BPCS operator workstation
to verify that this action cannot take place. The security technique used to protect against changes to
logic from the configuration station should also be tested. If this involves connecting the configuration
station only when changes are to be made, verify that another PES station cannot perform this function.
If password protection is the technique used, verify that the password cannot be easily discovered
through normal hacking in computer software. This is especially important if the SIF display station is
also used as the configuration station with key lock and or password protection.
Where a separate operator display station is provided for the SIF, tests should confirm that changes to
logic in the SIF logic solver cannot be made from this station.

6.10 Final SIF test procedures


Verify that all inputs, outputs and logic are in correct state at end of test and ready for process startup to
proceed. This includes removing all bypasses, jumpers, etc. and returning all final control elements to
pre-startup positions. Verify that any temporary jumpers used for bypassing are accounted for by
comparing to list provided for each SIF. See Annex J for example of a jumper control list.
Perform a final inspection on the logic solver and all SIF components. The intent of this inspection is to
make sure all work on the SIF is complete and that the system can safely be returned to normal
operation. The inspection should include, but not be limited to, the following items.

Verify that all alarms are cleared. Exceptions might be low process variable alarms that cannot be
satisfied until process has been advanced to some operation state other than out of service.

Verify that all problems and failures identified have been addressed.

Check any components and devices that were replaced to ensure proper working condition.

Verify all switches and hand switches are in their proper positions.

Visually inspect all SIF pressure and instrument gauges to insure proper working condition.

Visually inspect tubing, wiring terminations, and wiring to insure that they are secure. This might
include actually trying to pull wire from the connections.

Verify that all final control elements are in the correct position for the process out of service state.

Verify that all instrument air supply regulators are at their proper settings.

Verify that field junction boxes and housings are secured and weather tight.

Verify that all wiring conduit and conduit access plates are secure and weather tight.

Verify that all process root valves to transmitters and switches are open and any bleed valves are
closed.

On-line testing

Successful on-line testing requires planning, design provisions, and procedures. When possible, the SIF
should be designed to minimize or eliminate the need for bypassing or jumpers for testing. Any installed
equipment for on-line testing, such as bypasses or instrumentation, should be thoroughly tested, along
with its associated logic during commissioning. Detailed test procedures are essential for on-line testing
to ensure that the test is correctly implemented. It is important to emphasize that any on-line testing
presents the risk of a process upset or unintentional shutdown as the result of an incorrectly performed
test.
7.1

Preparation

Prior to any on-line testing a review of the tests to be conducted and the procedures for performing these
tests should be carried out by persons from instrument/electrical maintenance, operations, and technical
who are familiar with the process and the SIF. This group should review the following items at a
minimum:

Discuss the importance of operators on shift being given notification that a SIF system is about to be
tested or worked on.

being tested is in bypass.

Discuss what operations and maintenance should do if the operator must initiate the SIF while the
bypass is in place.

7.2

When should on-line tests be performed

On-line testing should never be performed when it would compromise the safety of the process.
The SIF components should be calibrated based on the plants Preventative Maintenance (PM) schedule
for the process equipment. The calibrations should be performed according to the company calibration
procedures.
On-line testing may be necessary where the normal operating cycle of the process between scheduled
shutdowns is greater than the test interval used in evaluating the SIF for its integrity level. Maintaining
the required integrity of the SIF requires that this test interval be maintained. Therefore, the testing of
some SIF will require doing the testing on-line.
Testing SIF on-line introduces stress on both the process and those performing the testing. It is therefore
imperative that on-line testing be performed under closely controlled conditions using procedures that
have been proven. This section will outline guidelines for when such tests should be performed and how
this can be accomplished without compromising the safety of the process.
7.2.1

Sensors

Process sensors that are going to require on-line testing should generally be installed with some level of
redundancy to allow testing of one sensor while another is still making the necessary measurement. If
on-stream reliability of the process is critical, a 2oo2 or 2oo3 voting of sensors may be used. The
designer then determines whether bypasses will be used to facilitate testing. For either 2oo2 or 2oo3
voting, one sensor can be tested at a time without the need for bypasses. When on-line diagnostics are
used to detect transmitter failure, the designer determines whether the voting logic will be changed. For
example, the logic for the SIF may be reduced from 2oo3 voting to 1oo2 if a failed transmitter is voted
toward the trip condition. In contrast, it would reduce from 2oo3 voting to 2oo2 if the failed transmitter is
voted away from the trip condition. If a 1oo2 configuration is used for sensors, a bypass will be necessary
to allow on-line testing of each sensor while maintaining measurement capability with the other sensor.

33

ISA-TR84.00.03-2002

Logic during such a test will reduce to 1oo1, which is a lower SIF integrity than the 1oo2, and appropriate
precautions should be taken during the testing to ensure safety is not compromised.
The testing frequency for sensors can be more or less frequent than that of other SIF components
depending on the MTTF of the components used and the voting configuration. Where analog sensors are
installed in redundant configurations, the testing interval for individual sensors can often be extended due
to diagnostic coverage provided by analog signal comparison and alarming on deviation of the signals.
Testing and calibration of the sensors would then be performed when the deviation alarm is generated.
Depending on the voting configuration, on-line testing may not be necessary to maintain SIF integrity.
This assumes that common cause failures such as mis-calibration of all three sensors has been
accounted for in the calibration procedures.
7.2.2

Logic solvers

Testing of logic solvers for SIF is not practical while the process is on-line. Therefore the full functionality
of the logic solver should be tested and validated prior to placing the SIF in operation as a layer of
protection for the process. Further testing of the logic solver should be performed at the scheduled down
time for the process and any time the SIF is taken out of service for logic changes.
-|
||| || | ||| || |

7.2.3

Final control elements

||||
|||| ||
||||
|
||
|---

Final control elements often have limited on-line diagnostic capability. Consequently, final control
elements generally contribute the greatest amount toward the probability to fail to function when a
demand is placed on the SIF. These devices typically remain in one position for long periods of time
without moving until they are called on to respond to a process demand. Final control elements may also
be installed under process operating conditions that can be severe, e.g. corrosive, plugging, or
polymerizing services. They also contain many moving parts which must function together to accomplish
the desired action they are to perform. Since the test interval to achieve the required safety integrity is
often shorter than the turnaround interval for the process, on-line testing of final control elements
becomes a desirable alternative.
Whether simplex or redundant valves are utilized, on-line testing requires additional design provisions,
e.g., full flow bypasses, partial stroke testing equipment, test instrumentation, etc., to allow testing to
occur without process interruption.
Final control elements may have common components, which could render multiple devices unavailable
when these common components fail. For example, if air were used to move valves, which are used for
process isolation, the loss of air supply would be a potential common cause failure. If the air supply fails
to provide the necessary pressure or volume to move either of the valves, the SIF will fail to accomplish
its design function.
The testing interval required to achieve the SIF integrity is affected by the severity of the service the valve
encounters. Temperature (high or low), erosion, corrosion, and polymerization are a few of the factors
which may have an impact on the required testing interval. In many cases, on-line testing is required in
order to achieve the SIF integrity. On-line testing may consist of a full functional test or a partial test of
the valve failure modes. When on-line diagnostics or partial stroke testing is used to supplement full
functional testing, an assessment of the failure modes detected by the diagnostics should be performed.
The diagnostic coverage factor used in the SIL verification should be substantiated by failure modes and
effects analysis (FMEA). Many users limit the coverage factor assumed in the SIL verification to a certain
maximum, e.g. 60%.The SIL calculation is then performed by splitting the PFDavg calculation into two
parts. A portion of the valve failure modes is tested at the partial stroke testing frequency. The remainder
of the valve failure modes is tested at the full stroke testing frequency.
A visual inspection according to an approved procedure should be carried out regularly, e.g. every three
months. See Annex O for a sample procedure or checklist for this visual inspection.

HMI

Testing of the HMI during normal operation of the process should be done any time that there is an
indication of a malfunction of the HMI display itself. This could result from a fault in an input to the display
or a fault in the display component itself. When repairs are made or a HMI is replaced, all features of the
original HMI specified for the SIF should be tested.
The HMI should also be tested on the same schedule as the logic solver.
7.2.5

Communications

Communications between the SIF and other systems should be tested on the same schedule as the logic
solver and at any time that there is an indication of a malfunction of the communication link. If
communication with another system has an impact on the safety integrity of the SIF, the test interval
included in the integrity evaluation should be used. Any on-line testing of a communication link should
not reduce the capability of the SIF to perform its function.
7.3
7.3.1

Performing on-line testing


Precautions

On-line testing should not be started unless it can be worked step by step to completion with no
anticipated interruptions. Once the inputs or outputs are bypassed, a dedicated control system operator
should monitor the process continuously using means independent of the SIF. The operator should be
capable of initiating a manual trip of the SIF or other installed systems in the event of a process demand
during the test. Once the manual block valves are opened or closed, a dedicated field operator should be
available to open or close the block valves quickly if a process demand occurs. All personnel involved in
on-line testing of the SIF components should be aware of the mitigation steps to take in case a process
demand occurs while the testing is in progress. The following caution should be included at the beginning
of all on-line test procedures:
CAUTION THE OPERATOR (S) MUST FULLY UNDERSTAND AND BE PREPARED TO
IMPLEMENT THE MITIGATION PLAN FOR THIS PROCESS IN THE EVENT THAT A TRUE TRIP
DEMAND OCCURS DURING THE CONDUCT OF THIS PROCEDURE.
Similar to the off-line testing procedure, measure the power supply voltage, AC or DC, for the SIS
components and verify if the power is within the acceptable range. Test values should be within 2% of
normal values.
Check the line-to-ground voltage per line.
7.3.2

Sensors - Transmitters

Several examples of testing sensor (transmitter) logic on-line in SIS are shown in Annexes L, M, and V.
In each of these procedures a slightly different approach is used but all of them accomplish the same
result of verification of sensor operation and logic in the SIS.

Sensors Switches
Level switch technique

See Annex K for example of a procedure for on-line testing of a level switch.
7.3.4.2

Pressure switches

Pressure switches can be tested on-line using the same procedure as off-line tests with provision for
bypassing the input during the testing.
7.3.4.3

Temperature switches

Only the output portion of temperature switches can be generally tested on-line. Use the same procedure
as off-line tests for the output portion of the switch with provision for bypassing the input during the
testing.
7.3.5

Logic solvers

In general testing logic solvers while the process is in operation is not recommended. The logic solver is
typically the most reliable portion of a SIF and once the application program is fully validated by the
PSAT, there is no need to retest the logic solver unless changes have been made to the logic contained
in the logic solver. When changes are made to the logic, the logic solver should be retested prior to
placing the SIF back in operation.
Testing electromechanical based logic solvers on line would require extensive modifications to allow this
testing. These modifications could result in a system with less integrity than one without the provisions
for testing. It is therefore not considered a good practice to attempt testing electromechanical based logic
solvers while the process is on-line.
Where the SIF is functioning during a startup of the process, a test of SIF logic typically occurs each time
the process is started up. If more frequent test intervals than the normal process turnaround schedule is
required to achieve the SIL required, credit might be taken for unplanned startups due to downtime forced
by equipment or utility failures.
7.3.6

Final control elements

On-line testing of final control elements can be the most difficult testing associated with the SIF. Any test
of the valve on-line may result in process disruption if the test is not properly conducted. Valve tests can
consist of a full stroke using process bypasses or a partial stroke to a specific percentage of valve
movement. Any valve test should be evaluated to determine what failure modes are detected during the
test. Of particular significance with respect to partial stroking of valves is that the partial stroke does not
determine whether the valve will function to its full open or closed position. This can only be determined
by a full stroke test.
Some companies take credit for on-line valve tests when an unplanned trip of the system takes place.
They verify that all valves went to their correct position as required by the trip condition and that all
indications of valve position indicated this to be true. They then document what has occurred and count
this as a test of the valves affected. When taking such credit, consideration should be given to the
performance requirement of the operation of the valve (i.e. speed of response and shutoff performance).
The documentation should include the rationale for acceptance of the performance based on additional
in-line testing while the opportunity is available or noting that prior testing could lead one to believe the
performance is adequate until the next scheduled test.

Techniques have been devised to allow some measure of testing of final control elements, particularly
valves. These include use of manual block valves around the SIF valve for use while the testing is being
performed. A drawback of this approach is high capital cost and the chance of leaving them in the wrong
position after a test has been performed. Using this technique requires special attention to operation of
the manual valves before and during the test. Annex Z is an example of testing valves that have installed
manual block valves for testing. A valve lineup procedure has been developed by one company to follow
during testing involving manual block and bypass valves. The procedure follows:

|||| ||
||||

VALVE LINE-UP ACTIVITIES

|
||
|---

During the course of this test, the Technician Performing the Test will be instructed to
have an Operator close the upstream manual valve associated with this system. Since
the upstream manual block valve is Car Sealed, the Operator must first remove and
dispose of the Car Seal before closing this valve. Closing the manual block valve shall
be performed in accordance with all existing site procedures.
Upon completion of this test, the Technician Performing the Test shall inform the
Operator the upstream manual block valve may be opened. Opening of the manual block
valve shall be performed in accordance with all existing site procedures. The Operator
must install and lock a new Car Seal on the manual block valve and record the Car Seal
Number in the space provided at the end of this test.
Another technique involves testing only through the final solenoid valve on the final control element
actuator. This is common practice by many companies today and allows validation of elements of the SIF
except the movement of the final valve itself. In this type of testing, the air supply to the valve actuator
from the final solenoid is shutoff to prevent venting the actuator and operating the valve when the
solenoid is tripped. Since about half of the final control element failures probably involve the solenoid,
this technique can account for about half of the potential failures of the final control element package.
Some companies use redundant solenoids on each SIF valve to improve the availability or reliability of
the SIF. Dependent on the solenoid configuration, bypassing may be required to test each solenoid one
at a time and to verify that the solenoid has vented. When the test is complete, the technician should
verify that the solenoid has been returned to service. Simply testing that the solenoid coil has energized
or de-energized is not a complete test, since the solenoid must move to a specified vent state for correct
functioning. For example, a test of the solenoid coil will not detect that the vent port is plugged with
debris, preventing the venting of the air from the process valve. The following provides an example of a
test for dual solenoid which is implemented using a bypass valve on the air line and a defeat switch in the
logic.
a) Turn the bypass valve slowly to Bypass while watching the pressure gauge to ensure air pressure
remains unchanged.
b) The trip solenoids are now bypassed.

Check

( )

c) With the system in trip condition, temporarily place the defeat switch to OFF. Both solenoid valves
should trip.
Solenoid valves tripped.
d) Return all bypass valves to normal operating position.

Other techniques for testing solenoids but not the valve are shown in Annexes W and MM.

control element valve to verify movement at least begins when called for by the SIF. This movement
does not ensure that the valve will go to its full open or closed position when a real demand is placed on
the system but does give some indication that the valve will at least attempt to go to its tripped position.
Several examples of procedures for performing a partial stroking test of a SIF valve are shown in
Annexes DD, EE, HH, and LL.
The following guidelines have been suggested for on-line testing of valves:

SIL 1 SIF systems typically do not require any on-line testing.

At turnaround intervals of less than 3 years and a target SIL of 2, double block valves seldom need to
be partial stroke tested unless a dirty process increases the valve failure rate beyond the value
normally used in PFD calculations.

For SIL 3 applications, the testing frequency must be less than three years and on-line testing of
some type (i.e., partial stroke) must be performed. Fortunately, only about 10% or less of the
installations in the process industries are SIL 3. This means that for a small percentage of shutdown
systems or for turnaround periods greater than 3 years, some type of on-line testing of valves is
typically required.

Some cautions should be noted with regard to partial stroke testing of SIF valves. These include:

One user noted that a failure occurred in a process valve which had been partial stroke tested to a
specific mechanical stop position for years. The valve only moved 1/4 of its full stroke when actually
called upon to move to its full trip position.

If positive isolation, i.e. tight shutoff, is required, a partial stroke test does not test this capability.
Since a partial stroke test cannot detect all failure modes of the valve, full credit should not be given
for partial stroke testing. The following application limitations should be considered when evaluating
the use of partial stroke testing:

1) The service is clean. No dirt, polymerization products, deposition, crystallization, corrosive


chemicals, etc.
2) No documented history of a test that revealed valve failure due to process-related seat failure.
3) It must not be a tight shutoff application. This specification indicates that the valve seating is
extremely important, so the only valid test is a full seat test.
Partial stroke testing must consist of verification that the valve moved a set percentage of valve range. It
is not considered a valid test to only confirm open or closed limit switch contacts. Percent movement of
the valve should be confirmed using position indication, such as limit switches or positioners, or using
visual observation. To prevent buildup of ridges on the valve stem at the percent range for the test, it is
recommended that the percentage of travel periodically be changed.
Several companies now have a package, which allows assessment of the torque required to move the
certain valve types during the stroke. This does not verify tight shutoff capability, but does provide some
diagnostic coverage. A listing of some vendors providing these techniques is shown in Annex JJ.

7.3.7

38

HMI

On-line testing of the HMI is not required unless changes have been made in the information presented to
the operator. Any changes that modify information to the operator about the status of the SIF should be
tested when they are made and verified as being appropriate.
7.3.8

Communications

Any changes made to communications from the SIF to any other system should be tested when the
changes are made. It is not recommended that changes be made while the SIF is providing protection to
the process as these change activities could result in nuisance trips of the SIF or result in program errors,
which could render the SIF incapable of performing its function.
7.4

Inspection (observation techniques that enhance SIF availability)

Almost as important as testing of the SIF is having a program in place that monitors the apparent
condition of components of the system and their capability to provide the performance required to meet
the safety requirements. An example of a condition that could limit the performance capability of a SIF
component would be corrosion buildup around the stem of a sliding stem valve used to isolate a process
stream when called upon by the SIF. The buildup, if not noticed and tended to, could prevent the valve
from stroking all the way or even at all when called upon to take action. Inspection activities, which
monitor such a condition and others, which might occur, can enhance the safety integrity of the SIF.
Considerations that should be a part of these inspection programs are discussed in clauses that follow.
7.4.1

General considerations

The physical condition of the components of a SIF should receive a thorough mechanical inspection on a
regular scheduled basis. This is especially true for field components exposed to environmental
conditions, changes, and things like corrosion, process spills, leaks, etc. This inspection should be
documented and any action that is found to be necessary initiated immediately or scheduled for the first
opportunity if that is satisfactory.
7.4.2

Responsible personnel

The process unit Operations Department should be responsible for scheduling the inspections. The
inspections should be scheduled to coincide with the scheduled functional test at a minimum. A schedule
of once each quarter or twice a year may be appropriate for processes where conditions tend toward
potential problems. In very serious environmental conditions the inspection might be necessary more
frequently.
Maintenance Craftspeople should be responsible for performing and documenting inspections.
Documentation records should be maintained for reference. These records may provide information
relative to MTTF values for components that are used for SIF evaluation calculations and might be useful
in relating process changes to problems which occur.
The maintenance and operations departments should be responsible for following up on the repair of any
deficiencies discovered during the inspection to ensure repairs are completed satisfactorily.
7.4.3

Evaluation criteria

Each component of a SIF should be in good condition with no visible physical defects, which could impact
the performance or reliability of the system.

The instrument craftsmen should complete a Safety Instrumented System Inspection Form during the
course of the system inspection. See Annex O for an example inspection form.
Examine all parts of the SIF for damage, deterioration, missing parts, or other physical damage. The
physical examination should include:

All input devices to the SIS such as transmitters, switches, thermocouples

All output devices such as solenoid valves, control valves, motor controllers

System wiring with particular attention to terminations, junction boxes, conduit

SIS logic system - electromechanical relays, PLC, TMR, etc.

If a defect is found during the inspection it should be corrected as soon as possible. If the defect cannot
be corrected immediately, a work order should be generated to repair the defect as soon as practical.
The nature of the defect should be described on the Safety Instrumented System Inspection Form.
The inspection should include, but not be limited to the following items.

Verify that all components of the SIF are properly tagged and labeled.

Visually inspect devices for excessive corrosion.

Visually inspect all components, including alarm lights, to insure proper working condition.

Visually inspect all SIF pressure and instrument gauges to insure proper working condition.

Visually inspect tubing, wiring connections, and wiring to insure proper working condition.

place, and wiring connections secure.

|
||
|---

7.4.8

Wiring connections

Any critical wiring connections in junction boxes, scramble boxes, or other terminations should be
checked for proper tightness, labeling and mechanical protection. The use of wire nuts for making
connections in SIF is not recommended. Seals where required should be checked. Conduit covers
should be in place. Conduit drains should be in place and working properly. Cabinet doors should be
closed, water tight, and properly labeled.

Testing documentation

7.5.1

SIF test procedures

A specific written test procedure should be available for each SIF included in the SIS. The procedures
should be of sufficient detail to allow personnel who are not intimately familiar with the SIF to perform the
appropriate testing. These should include:

List of safety function(s) included in the SIF

Equipment description and location for each safety function

Functional logic for each safety function

Inspection procedures to be followed

Calibration and testing methods to be followed

Frequency of calibration, testing, inspections, and maintenance activities

Specify acceptable performance limits ( 2% of full range if no limits specified)

Specify sequence of testing if required

Specify who should perform test

Specify state of process when test is performed

If SIF logic is mirrored in the BPCS, test should show that SIF actuated final control device.

Verification of operational state of SIF after test complete

Test of internal and external diagnostics (WDT, etc.)

Verify auxiliary service components are operational (fans, filters, batteries, UPS, etc.).

Define a means of ensuring testing is performed and documented.

All test procedures should have system being tested, page numbers, and revision date on each page of
procedure. The responsible person for maintaining each procedure should be identified in the procedure.
All drawings used to describe SIF should be referenced including P&IDs, loop drawings, logic sheets, etc.
7.5.2

Documentation of functional testing of SIF

Document the results of functional tests for all SIF components and systems.
Test documentation should include but not be limited to the following data:

Date of inspection and testing

Name (signature) of the person(s) performing the work

Tested equipment serial number or other unique identifier, such as loop number, tag number, or,
equipment number

Results of the inspection and test (as found and as left conditions)

Important: Confirm and document that alarm and/or shutdown trip devices and process actuators
operate within specified tolerances. This can be accomplished individually as a component test or as part
of the loop or system test.
Retain records of these functional tests and inspections in accordance with plant policy. It is
recommended that at least the two most frequent records of functional testing of the SIF be kept at the
plant site. If a regulating body such as OSHA requires records retention, the retention period in that
regulation should be followed.
7.5.3

Documentation of SIF component calibration

--

Document each calibration of a SIF component. Calibration documentation should include the following
data:

|
||| || | ||| || |

Date of inspection and calibration

Name of the person performing calibration

Calibrated equipment serial number or other unique identifier, such as loop number, tag number, or
equipment number

Before and after results of the calibration; i.e., As Found and As Left condition

Test equipment (by manufacturer and model/serial number) used for the calibration

||||

|||| ||
||||
|
||
|---

Calibration records should be maintained to confirm that this work was completed and to build a historical
database of SIF component performance.
NOTE These records become the basis for adjustment to the calibration interval specified for each safety system component. The
frequency(s) of testing and calibration of the SIF or portions of the SIF is re-evaluated at a periodic interval set by the site. The reevaluation frequency is based on historical data, plant experience, hardware degradation, software reliability, etc.

7.5.4

Off-line tests

A good example of a test documentation form for off-line testing documentation is shown in Annex AA.
7.5.5

On-line tests

The same forms used to document off-line testing can be used to document on-line testing with the
proper notations provided. Special forms may be developed if the user desires.
7.5.6

How test results are analysed

The results of the calibration and testing should be reported to the site engineer responsible for the SIF
for review and approval. If necessary, the site engineer will consult with the site safety and environmental
personnel for his/her review and recommendation with regard to the impact on the safety and/or
environmental issue(s).

Inspections

An example of a form for documenting results of an inspection program is shown in Annex O.

Auditing

Audits should be performed to verify that the procedures related to SIF and, in particular, those outlined in
the SIF testing document remain in force throughout the life of the SIF. Records of audits and their
results should be documented and maintained in plant records. Two types of documents that might
accomplish this audit may be found in Annex FF and GG.

deferral. Note that the personnel titles used may be different from location to location. The intent is to
reflect approval positions and not exact titles.
Deferral request
Deferral request shall be transmitted from Operations to the Instrument Specialist prior to the scheduled
time to test a SIF. The timing shall allow ample time for the Instrument Specialist to conduct a fact based
deferral analysis.
Reason for the request
There are several potential reasons for deferring the test of a SIF.
A turnaround is scheduled shortly after the scheduled test and the risk of off-line testing is lower
than on-line testing. Also, the off-line test may enable the final control element to be tested
whereas an on-line test may not allow the final control element to be tested.
1. The process equipment that the system is safeguarding is out of service. The agreement in this case
is that the SIF will be tested prior to the process equipment being activated.
Deferral length
Suggested maximum length of time for a deferral should not exceed one quarter. If additional time is
needed for a deferral after one quarter, it is suggested the deferral analysis be revisited along with
approvals.
Deferral analysis
A deferral analysis should be conducted prior to granting a deferral. This analysis should include prior
test results. A record of successful tests of the SIF should be the minimum acceptable criteria for
deferring a test. The Instrument Specialist should participate in this deferral analysis and his/her
concurrence should be required prior to forwarding to the approving authorities noted below.

Annex F Model procedure for lube oil pumps autostart test


NOTE Operations and maintenance personnel involved should review and understand this procedure prior to start of
checks. Coordination and communication between operations and maintenance is critical.

This procedure will require two operators and two instrument craft-persons. One operator will man the
hand switch for P-1234 and the other will man the local control panel on K-2345 compressor deck. The
instrument craft-persons should have the necessary test equipment and fittings for field testing on hand
prior to start of tests.

TMR Logic to the BPCS can be monitored adequately at the BPCS Operator Workstation. Signals
originating within the TMR logic (analog outputs, digital outputs) and any input signals that are
received by the TMR logic and not fed forward to the BPCS will require connecting the TMR
configuration computer to the TMR logic. The TMR configuration computer is used to verify correct
SIS program values when an analog input field transmitter range is altered.
2. To functionally check analog and digital inputs associated with the SIS change, confirm that the TMR
logic is properly reading
a. the state of the digital inputs, and
b. the 0%, 50% and 100% of range signal of the analog input in both counts and engineering units
to validate square root or linear signal.
3. No input points should be disabled unless it is necessary to disable an undesirable trip function. See
H-2 for Management of Change restrictions.
4. To functionally check digital or analog outputs associated with the SIS change either:
a. Simulate a TMR logic input signal that would cause the output value to change state or take a
known analog value; or
b. Disable the associated output register and enter a forcing value.

Periodic functional tests

All SIS system inputs and outputs, both analog and digital (including those triggering BPCS alarms and
first out indications), are functionally tested on a periodic basis not to exceed the test interval included in
the SIS integrity evaluation. More frequent testing of most field devices is recommended. A procedure
for establishment of the test frequency for each interlock is included in the plants risk management
program.
The functional test procedure includes the following:
1. TMR Logic outputs may be functionally tested by
a. disabling the point,
b. altering its value/state, then
c.

verifying proper action in the field/BPCS Displays/Alarm Displays/etc.

Associated TMR Logic points are disabled and altered as necessary to permit operation of each control
valve that is tripped by TMR Logic. Each control valve is opened to 50% output then tripped
(opened/closed). The proper SIS action of each field automated valve should be field verified. Each
proven SIS action is documented. See H-2 for Management of Change restrictions where forcing of input
and output points is done.
2. TMR Logic input signals (DI/AI) are emulated from the field sensor, valve, or device and are validated
in the TMR Logic and BPCS. Where both field and control room mounted start-stop switches can
trigger an input, correct operation of both must be proven and documented.
3. The installed TMR Logic is compared to the MASTER Program, [<Filename>.UPL] using the Uploadand-Compare Utility function if available. If no program changes are identified, an input-output
functional check of the SIS Logic is not required at the scheduled SIS functional checkout.
Printout the Program Compare Listing and file this listing with the documentation of the sensor and
process actuator functional checks.
H.3.2.6

Complete functional check

A complete, field input-to-SIS valve functional check of the TMR Logic is to be performed at least once
every four years. This check is in addition to the periodic software-compare validation of Step H-3.2.5.
H.3.2.7

Correction of deficiencies

All deficiencies noted during the functional check are corrected unless they have no impact on SIS safety
function integrity. Department Manager approval is obtained and documented in the Functional Checkout
records if a deficiency is not corrected.
Deficiency report

|
||||
|||| ||
||| || | ||| || |

||||

A report is written by a Staff TMR Logic specialist (for the complete input-output check made on a nominal
four year cycle and for other scheduled functional checks) documenting all deficiencies encountered
during commissioning and defining actions planned to eliminate such deficiencies. This information is
filed with the SIS documentation.

The SIF system should be visually inspected on some predetermined schedule to see if there are any
problems that should be addressed before or during the functional testing. Since the SIF will not be in
bypass during this inspection, do not open enclosures or devices in order to perform this inspection. This
inspection is intended to be a visual inspection to determine how well the SIF devices have held up during
a period of operation. Examples of items to check are

|||| ||
||||

Instrument Air Supplies

Tubing

Conduit

Instrument Mountings

Hand Switches

Isolation Valves

Enclosure Purges

Instrument Covers

Paper Supply for printers

Alarm Panel Test Lights

Bug Screens

Gauges

||
|---

Heat tracing
Items that need to be addressed should be listed at the bottom of this form and reported to the operations
and maintenance. These items then should be addressed and corrected at the first opportunity allowed
by the process operation.
The inspection should include, but not be limited to the following items.

Verify that all components of the SIF are properly tagged and labeled.

Visually inspect devices for excessive corrosion.

Visually inspect all components to insure proper working condition.

Visually inspect all SIF pressure and instrument gauges to insure proper working condition.

Visually inspect tubing and wiring to insure proper working condition.

Verify that all instrument air supply regulators are at their proper settings.

||
|---

This test procedure is for a process where high pressure could cause rupture of a vessel and release of a
hazardous gas. The initiator is PT1. PS1 is the hardwired logic and the final control element is PV1.
There is another PSM Critical interlock in this circuit for Low Level LS1. The basic process control
system also mirrors both interlocks by DO1. The simple circuit is shown in the following diagram.

R.1.4

Valve line-up activities

Before beginning any portion of this test, the Technician Performing the Test shall have an Operator close
the downstream manual injection system valve associated with this system. Since the downstream
manual injection block valve is Car Sealed, the Operator must first remove and dispose of the Car Seal
before closing this valve. Closing of the manual block valve shall be performed in accordance with all
existing site procedures.
Upon completion of this test, the Technician Performing the Test shall inform the Operator the
downstream manual block valve may be opened. Opening of the manual block valve shall be performed
in accordance with all existing site procedures. The Operator must install and lock a new Car Seal on the
manual block valve and record the Car Seal Number in the space provided at the end of this test.
NOTE

R.1.5

See the Testing Tables for detailed instructions and sign-off for the valve line-up activities.

Inspection

Before beginning any portion of this test, the Technician Performing the Test shall ensure that the system
is in a normal Off-line condition and NOT tripped. If the system is tripped, the Technician Performing The
Test shall STOP, and perform the following:
Contact Operations to confirm that the system is in a normal Off-line condition.

Request that Operations Reset the system.

Confirm that all conditions have returned to normal, the system is in a normal Off-line condition, and
the system is NOT tripped.

Confirm downstream manual block valves have been placed into the CLOSED position.

Initial _______________

The Thermocouple Input Trip and Manual Reset system indicators are verified, and the Final Control
Devices are tested. Since this system is de-energize to trip, the Final Control Devices will be checked to
ensure they are de-energized and fail to the safe position during a trip, and are energized and return to
the normal position after a Manual Reset.
A hardwired Bypass Enable keyswitch, located on the front door of the Triconex cabinet (the Triconex
cabinet is located in the Computer Room), must be placed into the Bypass Enable position before inputs
can be bypassed. Once enabled, the BPCS Bypass Set and Bypass Reset soft switches are used to
bypass points for maintenance. The BPCS Bypass Set switch sets the triad, pair, or individual input into
bypass (i.e. TE-2307X, TE-2307Y, and TE-2307Z are placed into bypass by BPCS switch HS-2307S).
Individual thermocouples are not typically bypassed (i.e. the Operator is prevented from bypassing ONLY
TE-2307Z).

Annex U Model procedure for testing SIF watchdog timer


Description: Because the interlocks implemented in the SIF require a high level of integrity, a watch dog
timer system has been implemented. This system will provide an external check of the operating
condition of the SIF processor and its associated I/O cards. This is accomplished by utilizing a relay and
an associated circuit, which must be periodically pulsed in order to stay energized. This pulsing signal is
generated within the SIF configuration and is output to the WDT. If the external WDT detects a loss of
pulsing signal, the WDT relay will de-energize. This will activate an alarm as well as certain interlocks. All
hard-wired interlocks will be dropped out.
All three of the outputs are paralleled as inputs to the watchdog timer.
Output #2 is programmed with input #2. This input has only one field connection, which is the neutral
side of the input. The intent of the input is to detect an input card failure. If this occurs, the input goes
high which causes the output to go high. This prevents the external watchdog timer from pulsing and
eventually causes it to trip.
Output #1 is unconnected in the BPCS logic. This point is to detect an output card failure, which will
cause the point to go high and trip the timer.
Output #3 is programmed to pulse (square wave) the external watchdog timer. Timing between the pulse
and the watchdog is critical to the watchdog relay staying energized. At least two pulses per timer
interval are needed to keep the timer energized.
Procedure:
_____1.

Put the interlock bypass switch in the SIF program to the bypass position.

_____2.

Verify the interlock bypass alarm energizes on the BPCS.

_____3.

Verify the process being protected by the SIF is running and the following safety interlock
relays are energized: 5860-R, 1454-R, 5808-R, and 3105-R.

_____4.

Hold in the SIF WDT test button in the SIF cabinet and using a stopwatch, measure the time
required for the SIS WDT relay to de-energize.

_____5.

Document the time required for the WDT circuit to the interlocks: ______ seconds
(set point = 2 seconds, tolerance = 1.5 seconds).

_____6.

Verify the WDT alarm sounds from the BPCS.

_____7.

Verify the WDT safety relay, 5860-R, de-energized.

Procedure No.

CAUTION PRIOR TO APPLYING THE INFORMATION IN THIS ANNEX TO DEVELOP A PROCESS


SPECIFIC PROCEDURE, THE USER SHOULD REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND THE GUIDANCE IN THE
BODY OF ISA-TR84.00.03-2002.

Annex W Model procedure for on-line final control element functional testing
Overview
This section has been developed to test I-1 SIF solenoids and/or valves on-line without initiating an actual
trip.
SIF Trip valves which are normally open may not be actuated. The trip valves that are Normally Open,
with latching solenoids are setup to allow solenoid valve testing. The solenoid valve wires will be lifted in
the field at the GUA conduit fitting terminal strip. All defective or corroded terminal strips shall be
replaced as required. A 24VDC power supply will be connected to the solenoid to trip the solenoid valve.
The valve will not be tripped from the ICS Emergency Trip System. The ICS Output line monitor provides
continuous testing of the Solenoid Circuit between the ICS cabinet and the solenoid valve. Therefore, it is
not necessary that the final control element be tested from the ICS cabinet.
The trip valves that are Normally Open, having any type of trip solenoid valve other than a Manual reset
solenoid are currently not setup to test the solenoid valves.
SIF Trip valves which may be blocked before and after the Trip Valve and are normally closed shall be
actuated.

CAUTION PRIOR TO APPLYING THE INFORMATION IN THIS ANNEX TO DEVELOP A PROCESS


SPECIFIC PROCEDURE, THE USER SHOULD REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND THE GUIDANCE IN THE
BODY OF ISA-TR84.00.03-2002.

Annex X Model procedure for on-line testing of compressor SIF


GENERIC GUIDELINES
This is the on-line test procedure for the Wet Gas Compressor shutdown system. It is expected that this
system will be tested yearly according to the accompanying procedure. All testing must be done in strict
adherence to all the instructions and requirements of this test procedure. All test equipment must be
verified before using for the function test. All test results must be recorded on the Control Systems
function test worksheet. This form must be dated and signed and must be forwarded to the Control
Systems CSE at the completion of the test.
In addition to this Testing procedure, there is a written Mitigation Plan and a Specific Maintenance
Procedure for this SIF. Craftsmen must be familiar with the mitigation plan and the testing and
maintenance procedures before commencing testing.
Testing of this system and any repair/maintenance items require the implementation of the Mitigation Plan
or the unit must be shut down.
If maintenance is required based on what is found during the test, the craft must perform maintenance in
strict adherence to the maintenance procedures for this system. For example, if any device is recalibrated
or replaced, fill out calibration sheets. Document all other maintenance in field notes attached to the
function test worksheet.
NOTES FOR ON-LINE TEST PREPARATION
The Wet Gas Compressor System cannot be fully tested on-line because the two shutdown outputs,
Motor Stop Contacts and the Discharge Trip Valve, cannot be allowed to operate while the unit is running.
The following procedures are designed to give the tester the best possible assessment of the functionality
of each shutdown loop without actually initiating a shutdown of the compressor. These procedures should
only be used for a standard yearly function test of the system. A full inspection should occur at the three
year interval during turnaround.
1) Override ICS trip outputs
Since there is not a bypass switch for the compressor motor contacts, X-11871, or a bypass valve around
the compressor discharge trip valve, XV-11855, these outputs must be defeated using the keyswitch
output override key. This key is located at the lower right hand corner of the system test tray on the ICS
panel. Turn this keyswitch to the OVERRIDE position - indicated by override LEDs on output modules
and bypass light on Control Board Handswitch. The ICS shutdown system can no longer perform the trip
of the compressor and trip of the discharge valve. However, the manual shutdown switches will still
shutdown the machine, but not trip the discharge valve.

2) Defeat the ICS auto-test system


The auto-test system routinely tests the operation of the ICS cabinet by testing the input modules, logic
modules, and output modules. These tests will activate the LEDs on the face of the I/O cards, making it
difficult to analyze the results of the function test being performed. Therefore, the auto-test should be
defeated. To defeat the auto-test sequence, turn the auto-test keyswitch from the AUTO to MANUAL
position.

Annex Z Model procedure for testing final control elements when manual
bypass valves are provided

|||| ||
||||

Converter Output Trip Verification

|
||
|---

This procedure will test the trip outputs by opening the T/C (Upscale Burnout). Two thermocouple inputs
will be disconnected to simulate a trip condition and the solenoids and trip indications will be verified. This
test will cause a total system trip.
End Device Isolation
In order to validate that the interlock will perform its associated trip action when required, it is necessary
to periodically test the end control devices such as control valves, block valves, and motor operated
valves. However, in an on-line testing situation the unit operations cannot be altered or upset. Therefore,
appropriate provisions should be made to isolate these end devices. This following section is intended to
cover the methods necessary to perform this isolation in a safe manner.
Valve Isolation
Valves should be isolated in accordance with plant operating guidelines and safety guidelines.
WARNING!
Once the following valves are bypassed, the Converters cannot be tripped automatically by the SIF.
Therefore, the Control Room Operator should monitor closely all critical process variables and notify the
Field Operator immediately if an upset condition occurs so that he can remove all bypasses and allow the
SIF to trip the converters.
The following steps should be taken:
1. Before attempting to perform this critical portion of the on-line test, verify with the Operations
Representative that it is safe to isolate and test the affected equipment.
Initials ______ Date:
2. Isolate the Shutdown Solenoid Valve (XV-5318) to the Hydrogen Feed Control Valve (FV-5318). This
is accomplished as follows:

Remove the car-seal from hand operated valve HS-5318 located on the bypass panel by the control
valve.

Turn hand valve HS-5318 until the solenoid valve is isolated.

Annex BB Model SIF testing policy statement


The policy related to SIF testing shall apply to the SIF installed at this facility unless approved in writing
by the facility safety review committee.
Policy Statement:
1. There is a requirement that our Safety Instrumented Functions be tested from the sensor all the way
through the final control element. Some systems may require on-line test capability since they are
normally operated longer than the one-year nominal test interval.
It is understood that in some applications, exercising the final control element (control valve, motor,
etc.) is not practical while the unit is running. In these applications, provisions shall be made to test
the system all the way through the solenoid valve or motor starter interface relay. These final control
elements shall then be exercised at the first opportunity (i.e., during unit turnaround).
Any by-pass system installed to enable on-line testing will have safeguards installed to ensure the
system is not accidentally defeated or left in the by-pass position. This shall include alarming when in
the bypass position, use of key lock switches, written procedures regarding bypasses, etc.

2. If a SIF has failed its proof test in two consecutive tests due to the same problem, a recommendation
shall be made to location management for a specific corrective action plan. One part of this plan is a
root cause analysis of the problem. Note that just replacing a failed component is not sufficient. If
further data is needed to identify the problem or to assure that the problem has been eliminated by
the corrective action, an adjustment in the proof-testing interval may be recommended.

3. The following will be used in the future as a definition of a "Failed Proof Test." (Note that Proof Test
and Functional Test are the same test.) A Failed Proof Test is defined as a test result indicating that
the system is not functioning within the defined process variable tolerance and may not be performing
to its designed specifications. A default value of +/- 10 percent of the process variable setpoint shall
be used unless the test procedure specifies a more specific tolerance value.
E.g., a pressure transmitter was calibrated from 0-100 psi with an 80-psi high pressure trip setting. If
this system tripped within 10% of 80 psi (e.g., between 72 psi and 88 psi), this system has
successfully passed its proof test. The intent is that the proof test be conducted before any repairs or
modifications are made to the system.
The following definitions apply to redundant inputs. On systems with a 1oo2 input architecture, if one
of the transmitters passes the above proof test, then the system is defined as passing. In this case,
one of the transmitters may have failed but the system would still have functioned as designed. On
systems with a 2oo3 input architecture, if two of the transmitters pass the proof test requirements, the
Procedure No.

system is defined as passing.

4. Reports outlining the results of proof tests shall be sent to the facility safety review committee within
30 days of a test. The report shall state the systems performance as well as any deficiency. These
reports shall be filed with the SIF documentation for a period of three years.

5. All SIF are required to be functionally tested in accordance with a test schedule based on the SIL
determination criteria for the SIF. The test schedule should indicate the month (schedule month) and
year in which the next function test is to be performed. The test due date is the last day of the
scheduled month. A test performed any time within the scheduled month is considered "in
compliance."

--

||| || | ||| || |

||||

If a test is performed after its scheduled month, the test is considered "out of compliance with proof
testing interval" until the test is performed unless the test is formally deferred (see Annex B). The
scheduled month, though, would not need to be changed for subsequent tests because it would still
fall within the required test interval in the next test cycle. The scheduled month may be changed to
the month in which the test was actually performed to take advantage of the entire allowed test
interval, if so desired.

|---

If a test is performed prior to its scheduled month, the test is considered as being "in-compliance."
But the system must be either retested in its originally scheduled month or the scheduled month must
be changed to the month in which the test was actually performed. If changed, the new scheduled
month will then be used as the basis for scheduling subsequent tests.

Annex CC Possible SIF performance metrics


The following metrics may be good indicators of SIF performance. These metrics could be tracked and
reported on a quarterly or annual basis using a spreadsheet format.

SIF Availability calculated using one of the approved methods in ISA-TR84.00.03-2002 and SIF test
results. Only the number of SIF functional tests performed and number of SIF tests failed are
required. These numbers could be accumulative totals for the past three year period.

Number of SIF identified and classified by SIL by PHA.

Number of SIF evaluated against SIL requirements.

Number of SIF that meet SIL requirements.

Number of SIF successful trips and, where feasible, estimated $ savings.

Number of unsuccessful trips and actual $ cost.

Number of covert failures discovered during testing that could have resulted in high consequence
event if a SIF demand had occurred and, where feasible, estimated potential $ impact.
SIF Availability Calculations

The SIF performance capability should be defined by one of the three calculational techniques outlined in
ISA-TR84.00.02-2002. A technique should be selected and all SIF evaluated using the same technique.
Failure Mode Concepts
Failures in SIF can occur both overtly and covertly. Overt failures typically reveal themselves by tripping
all or part of the SIF. An example would be a normally open fail closed trip valve closing when its
solenoid valve fails resulting in a process upset. The operator would be quickly aware of the failure. If
the process is still running, the operator is aware of the failure and can perform mitigating actions to
simulate the SIF function and respond to demands while the SIF is inoperable. So, overall availability of
the safety function is not greatly affected by overt failures unless the failures are very frequent (MTBF < 1
year).
Covert failures do not reveal themselves and do not affect the operation of the process. They are
potentially hazardous because they may not allow the SIF to perform a safety function should a
hazardous demand occur. The operator is unaware that the SIF is inoperable and is not in state of
readiness to respond to a demand should one occur. Some covert failure modes can be turned into overt
failure modes by using system diagnostics to reveal the failure. However, system function testing is
generally required to reveal and correct covert failures. By their nature, covert failures have the greatest
impact on SIF availability because they can go long periods of time in an unrevealed inoperative state.

Availability calculations
Whichever method is chosen to perform the SIF availability calculations, a common set of failure rate data
should be used. This data should be agreed upon by a team of facility personnel who have much
experience with the equipment used in implementing SIF. All SIF calculations should use only the agreed
upon database.
What is considered a system failure?
In simplest terms, a system should be considered to have failed if it cannot perform the safety function for
which it has been designed. First, it presumes that you know safety function the system was designed to
perform. There should be a clear description in the unit Process Hazards Analysis of the scenario or
hazardous event the SIF was designed to prevent. Next, system component failures should not be
considered system failures if they are not in the chain of devices and logic that perform the safety
function. Failures of alarms, system resets and diagnostic components usually do not prevent the system
from providing the safety function when needed. Increasing system availability may require the use of
redundant components. A failure of a single transmitter in a two out of three voting triad should not be
considered a system failure since the other transmitters are still available to perform the safety function.
Transmitter or switch drift should be considered a source of system failures if the drift is beyond the
acceptable safety tolerance for that system. The tolerance will vary from system to system based on the
process hazard and how close the trip point is to the point of hazard. The tolerance on the hazardous side
of the trip point may be different than the tolerance on the nuisance side of the trip point. A general
guideline might be to set the acceptable tolerance no more than (+) or (-) 10% of the process trip point
and at least 5% on the safe side of the point of hazard.
-|
||| || | ||| || |
||||
|||| ||

Trip valves which fail to fully stroke when tripped should be considered system failures. Trip valves which
leak through when fully closed may or may not be considered failures depending on the process. Many
processes can tolerate some amount of leakage through the trip valve and still mitigate the hazardous
event. Some processes require tight shut off to prevent the hazardous event. A leak tolerance should be
designated for each trip valve. Valve leak testing may be required to ensure process leakage is within
tolerance for tight shut off valves.

||||
|

Plugged impulse lines on transmitters should be considered failures.

||
|---

Any logic device or switch which fails and prevents any SIF output from tripping when a SIF trip initiator
trips should be considered a system failure.

Annex HH Partial instrument trip test (PITT)


INTRODUCTION
In process plants, valves employed for shut off applications remain open while the process is in safe and
controlled state. These valves close only upon a plant trip arising from an out of control process or
during a normal maintenance outage. The performance of such valves is tested only during the
shutdown condition of the process. Economic considerations have driven plant operators to reduce the
frequency of maintenance outages extending continuous operation of plants for many years. State of
the art SIF have extensive features to detect incipient failures within them and redundancy to offer a
high degree of availability. However, the shutoff valve, which is one of the critical elements in the SIF
loop, typically does not have any means of ensuring availability when a demand arises. The availability
of the shutoff valve can be enhanced by periodic partial stroking of the valves on-line without causing
process upset. Almost all SIF valves have pneumatic cylinder actuators driving the valve to a closed
state quickly on the loss of the pneumatic supply. A combination of 3-way solenoid valve and quick
exhaust valve controls the pneumatic drive. On a trip signal the solenoid valve de-energizes cutting off
air supply to the cylinders. The quick exhaust valve vents the cylinder driving to close the valve.
Partial Stroking Of Shut-Off Valves
-|
||| || | ||| || |
||||

Partial Instrument Trip Testing applied to shutoff valve is a scheme of partial stroking of the valve to
ensure its functionality without causing process upset or shutdown in the process plant. The scheme as
indicated in the figure was designed, developed, and tested for on-line implementation of Partial
Instrument Trip Test on shutoff valves.

|||| ||
||||

Under normal operating condition the main trip solenoid valve remains energized passing air supply
through quick exhaust valve to the cylinder of the actuator keeping the valve open.

|
||
|---

The PITT solenoid valve, which remains de-energized normally, is energized to initiate a partial stroke
test. Energisation of PITT solenoid valve causes partial bleeding of the air supply to the shutoff valve
actuator causing the valve to move from its open state. The PITT will be terminated either on travel of
the valve about 10% sensed by 10% limit switch or after a predetermined time.
In case of a trip during the test the main solenoid valve will cutoff the air supply and the cylinder will be
vented through both the quick exhaust valve as well as the PITT valve.
The travel time during the 10% limit during PITT can be used for monitoring the stroke performance of
shutoff valve.
The 10% travel limit actuation during PITT is an indication of the success of the test.
The logic for conducting the PITT is implemented in the SIF system and all information related to PITT is
transmitted to BPCS for report generation and archiving purpose.

GLOSSARY
PITT

Partial Instrument Trip Test

ESD System

Emergency Shutdown system, which shuts down the plant to a safe


state in the event of any out of control processes. The system is also
used for PITT of shutoff valves periodically.

(Emergency Shutdown System)


Shutdown Valve

Shutdown valve is a safety device which remains open and will close
(fail-safe position) in case of trip/shutdown. PITT is performed on this
valve.

Main Solenoid Valve

Main Solenoid valve is the safety device on the SHUTDOWN VALVE


which is normally energized. De-energizes to vent air through
exhaust port to close Shutdown valve on trip/ shutdown.

PITT Solenoid Valve

PITT Solenoid valve is the test solenoid valve to perform PITT. It is


independent of main ESD solenoid valve.

The partial closing is achieved by energizing the PITT solenoid valve


for partially bleeding the air supply to achieve predetermined valve
closing of approximately 10%.

PITT solenoid valve energizes on trip signal complementing the


exhaust valve to improve the speed of shutoff valve closure.
-|
||| || | ||| || |

Since the PITT solenoid valve is programmed to energize on a trip it


acts as a backup to the main solenoid valve.
It is a pneumatic actuated valve. It allows the SHUTDOWN valve to
close very quickly (<1 sec) by bleeding the actuator pressure
through its exhaust port.

Isolation Valve

It isolates the PITT Solenoid for any maintenance.

||||

Quick Exhaust Valve

|||| ||
||||
|

It is also useful to control test travel time/stroke by throttling


(adjusting the bleed rate).

Annex JJ Vendor packages to perform partial stroke testing of SIF valves


There are a number of valve manufacturers who now provide a package system for performing
diagnostics and partial stroke testing of both sliding stem and 90 turn valves that may be used in SIF
applications. The listing, which follows, does not claim to be the only manufacturers available to do this.
It is just the listing of companies who submitted information related to testing to the committee developing
this document. A brief description of what each system provides is included with the vendor information
for clarification.
Neles Automation
Neles offers a package called the ValvGuard System, which provides automated testing of a valve by
performing a partial stroke of the valve, and measuring valve position as related to air pressure in the
actuator. A fingerprint of the valve can be obtained and compared with original condition of the valve for
analysis of any potential problems. The vendor claims third party certification of their product and
estimates that > 85% of the time the valve will perform the function required of it by the SIF if appropriate
maintenance is performed.
Contact the North American subsidiary at 42 Bowditch Drive, Shrewsbury, MA 01545-8004, telephone
number 1-508-852-3567.
Tyco Valves & Controls
Tyco offers a package called K-MOVE (Manually Operated Verification Equipment), which allows
testing valves without shutting them down. The system works only with rotary action valves at the present
time. The package moves the valve about 20 to minimize the impact on flow through the valve. It is
possible to have the SIF initiate the test and information can be fed back that the test has been
performed.
Tyco can be contacted at 9700 West Gulf Bank Road, Houston, TX 77040, and telephone number 713466-1176.
DRALLIM Controls
Drallim offers a non Contact Real Time Testing and Monitoring system for emergency isolation valves and
associated control devices called VALVEWATCH. They claim that due to the speed of the test action that
in some cases full closure of the valve may be possible.
Drallim can be contacted at Drallim Industries Inc., Grogans Mill Rd, Suite 125, The Woodlands, TX
77380, telephone number 261-296-1665.

SPECIFIC PROCEDURE, THE USER SHOULD REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND THE GUIDANCE IN THE
BODY OF ISA-TR84.00.03-2002.

Annex KK Possible technique for evaluating benefit of partial stroke testing of


SIS valves in PFDavg calculations
The following presents the procedure that one recognized consultant in the safety arena uses to evaluate
the benefit of partial stroke testing of SIS valves in determining the PFDavg for the SIF. Users are
cautioned to fully understand this procedure in light of the requirements for the SIF being installed.
Partial-stroke testing can be used to supplement full-stroke testing to reduce the block valve PFDavg. The
amount of the reduction is dependent on the valve and its application environment. The partial-stroke test
involves moving the valve a minimum of 10-20 percent, which tests a portion of the valve failure modes.
The remainder of the failure modes is tested using a full-stroke test. The main purpose of the partialstroke test is to reduce the required full-stroke testing frequency.
Partial-stroke testing may not eliminate the need for a full flow bypass. If the valve is partial-stroke tested
and determined to be non-functional, maintenance will need a bypass or the process will have to be
shutdown for valve repair.
How does partial-stroke testing affect the PFDavg? A complete functional test of the valve can be viewed
as consisting of two parts: the partial-stroke (PS) and the full-stroke (FS). For the calculation, the
D
D
dangerous failure rate, , must be divided into what can be tested at the partial-stroke ( PS) and what
D
can only be tested with a full-stroke ( FS). The resulting equation for the PFD is as follows:
PFDavg =

D
PS

* TIPS/2 +

D
FS

* TIFS/2

(1)

The division of into parts requires an evaluation of the failure modes of the valve. Table KK.1 provides
a listing of typical dangerous failure modes for block valves and the corresponding effect of these failure
modes. The test strategy indicates whether the failure mode can be detected by partial-stroke testing or
only by full-stroke testing. The equation (1) can then be shown as follows:
D

PFDavg = PD * * TIPS/2 + (1-PD)* * TIFS/2


D

(2)

Where the percentage detected (PD) represents the percentage of the total failures detected by the
partial stroke test.

The failure modes listed in Table KK.1 can be compared to the failure mode distributions presented in the
Offshore Reliability Data Handbook (OREDA) for various valve types and sizes. Based on the OREDA
data, the percentage of the failures that can be detected by a partial-stroke test is approximately 70%.
The remaining 30% of the failures can only be detected using a full-stroke test.
Users are cautioned that this breakdown is based on average valve performance in offshore installations
and may not represent the breakdown for the Users application. This evaluation should be done for each
valve type, based on the application environment and the shutoff requirements. If the service is erosive,
corrosive, or plugging, the failure rate and failure mode breakdown will be different from that shown in this
Annex. If the valve is specified as tight-shutoff, the contribution of minor seat deformation or scarring will
be more significant than shown in this Annex. For these reasons, it is recommended that partial-stroke
testing not used as a substitute for full-stroke testing for a single block valve application when:
a) the valve has been shown to fail in the service due to process deposition or plugging,
b) the valve is specified as tight-shutoff for safety reasons, and
c) valve leakage can generate a hazardous incident.
Some analysts choose to neglect the PFDavg associated with the failures detected at the partial stroke test
by using the diagnostic coverage (DC) model.
PFDavg = (1-DC) * TIFS/2

However, the diagnostic coverage (DC) model is usually reserved for on-line fault detection where the
"testing interval" is within or very near the process time constant. For example, comparison of analog
transmitter signals is performed each scan and can be alarmed on deviation. This means that the
transmitter "test" is performed at least every 150 to 300 ms with a programmable logic controller operating
with a reasonable scan rate. When the transmitter PFDavg is calculated, the appropriate diagnostic
coverage is selected and used with the failure rate and off-line testing frequency for the calculation. In
the case of the transmitters, it is common to neglect the diagnosed portion in the PFDavg calculation,
assuming that the operator will be notified immediately that the SIS is degraded (due to failed transmitter),
has operating procedures to address safe operation during degraded SIS performance, and has the
means and authority to shutdown the operation if necessary.

||||
|||| ||

In contrast to the transmitter, partial stroke tests are typically only performed monthly, quarterly, or
annually. This means that there is a substantial time window in which the valve could be in a dangerous,
undetected state. Neglecting the partial stroke portion of the valve failure rate can yield substantial error
in the calculation. The following is a comparison of the two calculations, assuming 1-year partial stroke
testing, 3-year full stroke test, and MTBF of 35 years.

||||
|
||

Using DC model:

|---

(1-0.70)*(1/35yr)*3yr/2 = 0.0129
Using partial test model:
(1-0.70)*(1/35yr)*3yr/2 + (0.70)*(1/35yr)*1yr/2 = 0.0229
The DC model under predicts the PFDavg of the valve by a factor of 2 at the annual partial stroke test. As
the partial stroke test frequency is increased, the error is, of course, reduced. However, even at monthly
partial stroke test, the contribution of the PFDavg associated with the partial stroke test is still within the SIL
3 PFDavg range. For the DC model assumption to be correct, the testing must be frequent enough that the
-5
PFDavg for partial stroke test is at least an order of magnitude lower than SIL 3 (less than 10 ).

Smart ZV Approach
How it works

Configuration Using the HART handheld communicator or laptop running vendor specific software
(Valvelink with Fisher Rosemount DVC 6000), the test parameters are downloaded onto the
positioner.

Local Test Push Button when pressed in the field, the positioner performs the predefined limited
travel partial stroke test of the ZV. The results of last test are saved in memory on the positioner.

ESD Override A separate ESD output to the SOV overrides the positioner and drives the valve to
the fail safe position.

Best Application
In pneumatic applications single acting or double acting ZV actuators (normally energized or normally deenergized). Ideal where on-line testing is not possible between scheduled T&Is.
Features

Versatile, modular, design can handle any ESD signal to the SOV (normally energized or
normally de-energized).

Continuously monitored with the 4-20 mA option, ZVs are monitored, even after a trip.

Proven performance installed base in Saudi Aramco has demonstrated reliability.


The smart valve positioner (Fisher Rosemount) is used to perform "limited travel" testing while the valve is
in service on a quarterly basis and full stroke the valve annually.
The smart valve positioner collects valve signature data that can be used to compare with previous test
results to identify changes in valve performance. In addition, the valve signatures collected during
functional testing, provide an audit trail of past functional test results.

Annex MM Examples of techniques to perform on-line testing of solenoid


valves
There are a variety of methods that can be implemented for on-line testing of solenoids. Each method
requires the installation of test facilities and the development of test procedures. Any functional test of a
solenoid must determine that the solenoid can vent the air (or other fluids) from the valve actuator.
Consequently, the test must determine that the solenoid valve can change states and that the air can be
vented through the solenoid vent port to the atmosphere.
The following discussion provides some examples of on-line solenoid testing methods, including brief
descriptions of the equipment and procedures. Users are cautioned to fully understand how the field
design and test procedures will work in concert to prevent nuisance trips or hazardous situations during
testing.
Solenoid in Bypass
A manual test station can be built that uses hand operated valves to bypass the solenoid valve and place
air directly on the valve actuator, holding the valve in position. Since this results in the bypass of the final
control element, the board operator and field operator must be have a procedure for implementing a safe
shutdown in the event of a process demand during the test.
Limit switches are often incorporated on the hand operated valves to allow bypass alarming to the
operator HMI. Once the instrument air is in bypass, the solenoid is de-energized and pressure indication
is used to determine that the solenoid has properly vented. If 2oo2 solenoid voting is used, no instrument
air bypass is required. For 2oo2 voting, each solenoid is de-energized one-at-a-time and pressure is
monitored to determine that each solenoid has successfully vented.
Solenoid is Pulsed
In this method, the solenoid is tested by pulsing the power to the solenoid. The operator activates a
pushbutton or switch to initiate the test to de-energize the solenoid for as long as the field operator holds
the switch. The field operator monitors the valve position and releases the button when the operator
confirms valve movement. When the valve moves, it can be inferred that the solenoid successfully
vented. Also, if the partial movement of the valve is sufficiently large (10-20%), this test can provide
partial stroke testing of the final control element. The main risk is that the operator may hold the switch
too long or the switch may fail to return to the normal state, allowing the valve to close all the way.
However, most operators quickly learn how long they can press the switch without causing a nuisance
trip.
This method of testing was mandated by the MMS (Government Agency that oversees safety for Oil/Gas
Operations in US Offshore waters). MMS requires that an operator initiate and monitor the test. This
method has worked very well in a number of offshore installations.

Shuttle Valve
Another method uses dual solenoids mounted in parallel with a shuttle valve in the middle. During the
test, pressure indication (e.g. switches or gauges) is used to monitor the discharge pressure of the
solenoids. The test is performed by de-energizing each solenoid separately and verifying that the
solenoid has vented. The reliability of this technique depends on successful operation of the shuttle valve
during the test of each solenoid valve. Improper operation may result in the air being vented from the
actuator.
Integrated Test Package
A fully integrated solenoid package is available from ASCO (2oo2D-SOV, patent pending) that provides
on-line diagnostics of solenoid coil failure and facilitates on-line solenoid testing. During normal
operation, the air signal passes through the package from the signal source to the valve actuator. When
a trip occurs, the solenoids vent the air from the valve actuator and allow the valve to move to its fail-safe
position. The ASCO package can be used in two operational modes:

A normal 2oo2 configuration where both solenoids must de-energize for shutdown. The pressure
switches are used to individually alarm if either solenoid goes to the vent state when not commanded,
reducing the potential for spurious trips. The pressure switches also facilitate automatic on-line
testing, where each solenoid is de-energized individually with pressure switch confirmation of venting.

A 1oo1 configuration where one solenoid is on-line for the shutdown action. The PLC is programmed
so that if the primary solenoid goes to the vent state without being commanded (as detected by the
pressure switch), the secondary solenoid is energized, preventing the spurious trip. Solenoid testing
is performed by cycling the solenoids and verifying vent state. This configuration provides the safety
availability of a 1oo1 configuration with the spurious trip rate of a 2oo2 configuration.

-|

Either configuration can be used for partial stroke testing by pulsing the power to the solenoids for just
long enough to achieve the partial stroke. To verify the movement of the valve, a position transmitter or
limit switch is used. The position indication is also used to prevent over stroking of the block valve, i.e., if
the valve moves too far during the timed stroke, the solenoids are re-energized. Due to solenoid valve
redundancy, this method for pulsing the solenoids has a reduced potential for spurious trips during the
partial stroke test (i.e., both solenoids must fail to return to position to incur a spurious trip.)
